Sustainable catering solutions

Our bespoke catering solution reflects our commitment to a more sustainable future for events. Sourced locally from some of the best suppliers in the business, every ingredient is consciously considered. Food miles are kept to a minimum, reducing travel and ensuring freshness.

Houston & Hawkes deservedly became the UK’s first certified caterers by using business as a force for good to benefit the planet. Judged across five key pillars: governance, workers, customers, communities, and the environment, they have been recognised as a socially responsible catering concierge.

From 100% Rainforest Alliance certified Houston & Hawkes roast coffee, to solar-powered farms dedicated to the conscious production of fresh produce and meats, every flavour in our dishes has a positive story to tell.

Our diverse menus

Our menus are changed seasonally to provide the freshest ingredients for corporate event catering or private occasions. Whether you are organising a winter wedding, spring summit, summer seminar, or autumn anniversary event, you can expect quality whenever, and whatever the occasion.

Our delicious, more informal sandwich lunches and bowl food options are prepared with just as much passion, care and precision as our sit-down fine dining menus. For those preferring plant-based vegan options, we offer creative variety.

Discover our personalised menu options below. If there are special dietary requirements, get in touch with the team and we’d be happy to advise and ensure that all needs are met throughout planning and during your event.
